Osteosarcoma, the most common primary bone tumor in young individuals, frequently metastasizes hematogenously to the lungs, necessitating pulmonary metastasectomy as a common surgical procedure. While sublobar and lobar resections are accepted approaches, pneumonectomy is considered a major intervention. In this report, we present 2 intriguing cases of patients who underwent pneumonectomy for pulmonary osteosarcoma metastases, emphasizing the challenges of careful patient selection and surgical planning.
骨肉瘤是年轻人中最常见的原发性骨肿瘤,常通过血行转移至肺部,因此肺转移瘤切除术成为一种常见的外科手术。虽然肺叶下切除和肺叶切除是公认的手术方式,但全肺切除术被认为是一种重大干预措施。在本报告中,我们介绍了2例因肺骨肉瘤转移而接受全肺切除术的患者的有趣病例,强调了仔细进行患者选择和手术规划的挑战。
